Original subtitles

But now, instead of a janky-ass sticky magnet,

imagine that this is our spaceship.

Since when can the ship split in half?

Also, why does it split in half? Is it ease of cleaning?

Making it in two parts meant that I could classify Avenue 5

as two half-mile vessels.

Made me a substantial tax saving.

Jesus wept.

No, Jesus beat the shit out of the tax collectors. Look it up.

Or have Iris look it up for you, I guess.

So, if the ship splits, the missile can only hit

one half, is that right?

No, no, no. No. We're talking about genocide.

Again!

It's not genocide if half of us survive.

All right, semi-cide then.

The missile is a real asshole.

It will go for maximum devastation,

so probably the back half where the engines are.

So, who decides who goes in which half?

No. It's not a dictator's job

to decide on a whim who lives or dies.

It absolutely is, isn't it?

♪ "AVENUE 5" THEME MUSIC PLAYING... ♪

Okay, here's how the algorithm works.

So, the AI algorithm delivers a rank for each passenger

based on their perceived value to the ship.

Knock, knock. Hello? Why was I summoned here?

Yeah, and why wasn't I summoned?

- Okay, so take Frank, right? - Hey. That's me.

The algorithm has tracked Frank

from the moment that he stepped on the ship

and laughed at the very idea of the complimentary slippers.

They're basically free shoes.

Okay, so Frank produces two pounds of solid waste,

four pints of urine every day.

He laughs on average twice a week.

Ah, I laugh more than that.

You do a lot of nervous laughter.

Exactly.

His testosterone levels are normal

for a woman in her seventies.

He has a 51 percent near-fatal embolism.

He has hairless feet, can't taste pears, etcetera, etcetera. Okay.

And Frank's overall ranking is 832.

Thank you, Frank. You can go now.

What was that about an embolism?

Don't stress about the embolism, Frank.

You'll give yourself an embolism.

Every single J on this ship is embedded with a camera.

It tracks, through our actions and demeanor,

our positive contributions to the ship.

It's my algorithm, but I promise to keep it fair.

I love judging people.

So, we lure the lower-ranked passengers to the back,

then we split the ship in two and... mm, mm, mm.

A passenger pogrom.

There's gotta be a better way of doing it than this.

Look, we've always given machines the tasks

that we can't handle, right? Defuse bombs,

reset bowling pins, provide reliable orgasms.

This is another thing that we should put

in the hands of a machine because ours are too shaky.

Okay.

To use what is rapidly becoming our popular catchphrase,

fuck it. Let us temporarily suspend our humanity.

Great.

Passengers, today, the ship's computer

will be ranking all of us.

And if you rank between one and 3000,

you will be rewarded with a first-class cabin.

Everyone else will be well provided for,

so don't worry about that.

Keep on smiling and you will win the day.

Well, at least half of you will.

Did my ranking just go up?

The algorithm rewards cold-hearted decisions

- clinically made. - So it's a psychopath?

Well, it has Judd in its coding.

Well, if the algorithm is in charge,

I won't need the head warmer.

So, my followers all rank low because they follow me.

So let's see how that's going. Oh. They've unfollowed me.

That was fast. You have to respect that.

Fickle little bitches.

How can my ranking be so low

when I am 3D printing an actual human baby in my cooch?

We don't need a bigger suite, though.

Babies are famously small.

Not in your family. You had a head like a refrigerator.

Honey, like I told you, it was a bad angle.

- In every single photo. - Well, my love for you

is even bigger than your freakish skull, Doug.

Wait. Were you saying that 'cause you meant it,

or were you trying to get a ping?

Of course I meant it.

Okay. That smile is freaking me out,

but I'm just gonna go with it.

How can I be bottom half? Doesn't make sense.

I'm a good person. Fact.

Frank? Why have I gone down?

Sorry, I'm making bathroom.

Ryan compliments me all the time.

He says he never met anyone like me.

That's a known British insult, honey.

- No, it's not. - No, I think it is.

- Don't nervous laugh me, Frank. - Sorry.

- I'm going out. - I'm almost done.

Oh, wow, mi amor.

Wow. "A Traditional British Eelhouse.

Eel-sy does it, Guvnor."

Why are we eating here?

The camera-to-customer ratio is pretty high here.

And you lot could use a bit of a lift.

Is the food all eels?

Is it all eels?

Eating eels is what won us the Battle of Agincourt!

We thrashed Hitler's anus with a brace of eels.

I don't like eels.

Oh, nobody like eels. They're the celery of the sea.

But just relax and embrace the authentic British smell

of abandoned phone boxes

and James Corden.

Hoity-ho and scupper me bollocks!

Let me show you luverly, luverly cunts

to your shit and stable.

That means table. This way.

I think the C-word is considered affectionate in the UK, right?

Yes. Absolutely. Yeah.

Sometimes makes it into the wedding vows.

Here we are, the old cock and balls.

We'll have, uh, an "Eel-ivia Colman,"

an "Idris Eel-ba,"

and an "Eel-ementary, My Dear Wats-eel"

for the tab-eel.

Excellent choices, man.

Why are you acting weird?

I thought the rankings were just a bit of fun?

Yeah, yeah. It's just... It's just fun, cor blimey!

Is that for your dreadful cockney accent?

Or 'cause you're lying?

No.

It goes down when he lies.

Eel-ivia Colman.

We deboned it for you.

Means we took the bones out.

It looks like mashed up eyes.

Hold your nose. Push on through.

Or what'll happen?

Nothing.

Just as long as they don't force feed us.

Do we die?

Of course... not.

Okay. Ryan, you need to tell us everything, right now.

Welcome, Ryan Clark.

Huh. Knew this software would be cheap.

- Can you change your voice? - No.

Can you change yours? See? I have a humor chip.

Mm. Okay, so let momma see what baby's been thinking.

Ryan's most used words.

Karen. Karen. Karen...

- Ryan! - Hey, do you want

- to expand context of... - Karen.

- ...words? - Oh, yeah, baby.

I'm talking about fucking Karen!

Honestly?

Being around Karen makes me feel

- like a teenager again. - Oh.

And I was deeply uncomfortable

as a teenager. Borderline suicidal.

Christ, that woman is like a verruca

- on my blinking anus! - Well, that could be anyone.

I'm talking about Karen, for fuck's sake.

Dull and draining.

Like a month of fucking Wednesdays.

I'll tell you who can fuck along nicely.

Karen Kelly.

Karen Kelly. I bet if you say that

in the wrong pyramid, your mouth fills with beetles.

You S-head.

Honestly, that woman haunts me

- like a perfumed plague pit. - Shut the fuck up!

You deserve it.

No, but I wanna buy this for you.

I wanna buy it for you.

That's so cute.

I bet a beautiful couple like you are ranking highly,

- am I right? - Uh, no. She's my sister.

Oh, shame.

I mean, not a shame, a waste.

No. What I mean is,

I was gonna say you would have lovely children,

but then, children of incest are plain looking, aren't they?

Not that yours would be.

Yours would be lovely.

If you're planning to have them.

Shit.

Did you just tell them their incest children would be plain?

Yes. Yes, that's what just happened.

You know, Rav, I think conversation

isn't your natural medium.

I think you'd do better with a grand gesture.

Like, a "you go girl" moment.

Okay, yeah, like 10,000 points for Rav.

Yes. Yes. As long as you're not talking,

- I think you're... Oh! - Oh.

After you.

Hurry up.

I'm sorry. Oh, shit.

You have five hours of ranking left.

Five hours.

What are you doing?

You just have to smile for the cameras. It's easy.

I know the intersection points where I can hit multiple cameras

at once. It's efficient and avoids cheek fatigue.

Uh, is it okay if I join you?

Absolutely not.

You know, I say screw the rankings.

- I am not looking. - Yeah.

I don't...

- Or maybe we should... - Way ahead of you.

Four thousand four hundred seventy-two.

Five thousand three hundred and forty-seven.

I can't... I can't believe it. I'm number two.

How...? Really? Oh, I'm so pleased for you.

That makes me so happy.

Wait. Who's number one?

Who the fuck is better than me?

She's a real number two, all right.

Looks like the algorithm likes your joke.

Does it find me attractive, too? Maybe I could take it to dinner.

- You're on a roll. - Yeah, I think I'm gonna

head up to the bar.

I don't believe this. You told us

it was about where we live, not whether we live.

I really did love you, Ryan.

Oh, my God. You actually did.

I did, too.

I did wonder.

You always seemed to be two drinks short

of curling up in my laundry.

So, where do we go from here?

Uh, I don't know.

Okay, por dios.

I love you both equally, but differently.

Well, this is a lot to take in.

What?

I... I didn't do anything.

Unless I'm being penalized for existing.

See, this has just tipped over

into bullying.

I'm gonna have to sort this out.

Guys, you know, I am getting so old.

You know, when I go to the toilet, I don't take a book.

I take an encyclopedia.

Back in the game.

Now let me tell you about my brother, Larry.

I don't wanna say he's unhygienic, but my God,

the only time he washes behind his ears

is when he's eating a slice of watermelon.

You ever wonder why the word "monosyllabic"

has five syllables?

Huh? Boy, that kind of split the room.

Spike is gonna drop the mic and I'll be back in five.

Thank you.

Uh, number one stuck in your craw?

You know that old folk song, "Simply the Best"?

That's my funeral song. Not "Simply the Second Best."

You know why? 'Cause that's not a song!

Message. It's from number one.

"Meet me at Judd's statue."

How are we looking?

We're both trending below cannibal.

What?

You have two hours of ranking left. Two hours.

Oh, God. Oh, God, this is it, Doug.

- No, I'll think of something. - No, I think the baby's coming!

- It's too early. - It's not checking into a hotel.

It's literally coming out of my body right now!

Oh. All right. Towels! Do we need towels?

No, fuck towels! I need drugs!

Women want to be unconscious!

Hey, my hat!

Fuck.

Fuck.

Judd's ranking advice. Hi, how are ya?

I was told if I kept smiling, I'd be fine,

um, but my ranking's lower than snake shit.

I think it's because whatever's happening

on your face right now isn't a smile.

- It's more like a smirk. - Oh.

I want you to watch me. See this? See this?

You see? You see what I'm doing right now?

That's a fucking happy factory right there.

There's thousands of people working up there

making nothing but joy.

- I'm smiling. - No. You maybe have

- minor nerve damage or something? - No.

I would maybe get your hands on some Botox

and a disgraced surgeon.

Judd, your algorithm inexplicably despises me.

See?

It's actually a very simple system.

It's, um...

- How do you turn it on? - Don't you use it?

No. I can't be in my own app

because then it would achieve singularity.

- You just press that down there. - Oh.

And let's just...

Fuck.

- Are you low? - As if.

That is very cheering.

The German word for what I'm feeling now

is "Schitting Fantastic he."

Okay, um, I could really use your help right now.

Could you maybe tell me some of your problems or whatever?

I'd be doing you a favor.

- So, I'm in love with a woman. - Which is great.

- But she's married. - Which is... bad?

Well, y... yeah. The marriage is complicated. The thing is...

Okay, I'm gonna stop you right there.

Is this a problem that I can solve with either money

- or aggressive legal action? - Uh, probably not.

Then this is not gonna work for me.

I need points, Ryan. I am desperate for points.

- I will pay for points. - Christ. You're like

an upturned turtle, aren't you?

I'll take the hit on that.

Excellent.

Ooh, well done, you, sir.

You... you... Oh, fantastic! Everyone's a winner.

No, soccer's the winner!

Help! Somebody help!

Oh, God, that man's choking! He's choking! Somebody help him!

- Somebody help him! - Rav, look at me.

Saving a life is a rankings bonanza.

- Oh, God. - Come on.

- I don't know what I'm doing! What am I gonna do? Help me! - Give him the Heimlich!

- I don't know the Heimlich. - I know the Heimlich.

- No, no. She's got it. - Do I just pump him?

- Pump. Pump. - I'm here to help you!

You're helping each other.

- I think you have to do it harder! - It's not work...

He's bloody heavy!

She's saving him! She's saving him.

Thanks.

Well, it's an easy mistake to make.

You know, a heart attack is often indistinguishable

from choking.

Hey. Hey, let me help you with that.

No, thank you.

- Let me help you with your bag. - No.

Please, please!

- No. - Fuck.

Hey, Iris. How are you?

That's confidential information.

- Damn it. - Everything okay, Iris?

The algorithm seems to have figured out my smile hustle.

Is the algo evolving?

Well, if it is, then we must evolve too.

Like how bears learned to dance.

Um, I would like you, Iris, to be my friend

slash employee again. My friend-ployee.

Did you say that for the rank?

No.

Yes. Yes. I said the friend thing for the rank.

And then I said that I said it for the rank for the rank, too.

Okay.

For this to happen, you're gonna have to treat me

like a human being, because I am.

You are like a human being.

I am a human being, damn it, and I want respect.

I respect you so much.

Okay, I will do my best to make the respect happen.

You also need to drop all the lawsuits against me.

- Even the fun ones? - Yes.

Okay. Okay.

Oh, man. I missed you, Iris.

I missed you, too.

You lying fuck.

Goddammit, Iris.

You're really fucking me here.

Sadly, I am a midwife only to disaster.

What is this, cervix tourism? Two tickets to see

a woman being split in half?

You mean like the ship?

The ship is being split in half?

Yeah, so the missile...

- Missile? - What?

You know what? If you push hard enough,

you could suffocate Matt with a flying placenta.

Wait, is that why you're ranking us?

No! No.

Right, stand back. Here I come.

Auntie Iris gonna land this baby.

I'm not shitting out a shuttle!

Just smile, like me.

I can't get involved because last time

I got involved in a medical emergency,

a bald man died.

Be uninvolved more quietly, please.

But doesn't she need a doctor?

- Okay, baby. Smile! - Push!

Sound happy. There are mics everywhere.

Just picture stroking her squidgy little cheeks

- while she's sleeping. - I can't! I can't!

The algorithm was fooled by that?

Look, I don't hate you.

Yeah, I do hate you.

But there are tons of people I hate more than you.

Matt and Judd, they're the top ten

all by themselves.

- Really? - Yes. Look at you.

Can someone please explain to me why she's shitting around

and getting rewarded for it?

What kind of value system is that

and how may I exploit it?

No, it's rewarding her apologizing.

The algorithm is learning to love a teachable moment.

So, wait a minute. If I...

If I were to call Matt, as I have many times,

a dead-eyed masturbating parakeet,

and then apologize for it, "I'm sorry, Matt,"

I get points for that?

No need to apologize. I mean, I... I'm flattered

you think I have the vibrancy of a parakeet

or the energy to feather my cloaca to completion.

I'm gonna go prepare my nest for impact.

Doesn't that mean everybody's just gonna go full metal asshole

and then apologize to each other right after?

Yeah?

Uh, I... I am so sorry, Spike.

Goddammit. Uh, yeah. Yeah.

I should shut it off.

You're right. Yeah. Grease and math, my two pillars.

How did you do in the end?

Uh, it was good, but then bad.

Apparently, my jokes are offensive.

I got complaints from bisexuals,

people who don't know the meaning of the word "monosyllabic,"

folks who are allergic to watermelon.

Looks like there's a dipes to clean.

Listen,

there is indeed a missile coming towards the ship,

and I have to tell you now that it is most probably

aiming for the back of the ship.

Where we are.

Sixty seconds to division.

All the bodies that Judd took over there

means more body heat in the front,

so the missile probably hits them now, right?

- Fifty seconds. - Yeah, I think so. I mean,

it's programmed for mass destruction.

It's a real mass-hole.

Right. I don't care if the whole ship hears.
